Harvard, which probably still gets some forms of public money
Just in case people don't realize... Harvard gets a tremendous amount of public money in the form of grants from the government. 100's of millions of dollars a year from the National Institute of Health... plus large sums from the Department of Defense, National Science Foundation, etc, etc...
(for example, see the list of NIH grant amounts sorted by university here )
At a "private" school like harvard, this money is where the pay for the students education is coming from. Many (most?) professors at Harvard have their salaries paid with their grant money from public institutions.
